Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

i have basic self hosting experience with docker compose mostly and the Arrs, but would love to have an instagram alternative for close friends and family. pixelfed seems to be the option but just looking at the guides and some of the posts about it and it seems daunting. any advice?

This is the one I followed. https://quay.io/repository/zknt/pixelfed Was pretty easy.

I've tried running it too, with little success 😔 And I run like 30 services at home
